Auto-deploy not working with File System Deployment Target

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi.

We cannot get the auto-deployment to work with our File System Deployment Target. We are using the following filesystem-deployment target:

  <bean
    class="org.alfresco.deployment.impl.server.DeploymentTargetRegistrationBean"
    init-method="register">

    <property name="name">
      <value>vnkpFilesystem</value>
    </property>
    <property name="registry">
      <ref bean="deploymentReceiverEngine" />
    </property>

    <property name="target">
      <bean
        class="org.alfresco.deployment.impl.fsr.FileSystemDeploymentTarget"
        init-method="init">
        <property name="rootDirectory">
          <value>${deployment.filesystem.default.rootdir}</value>
        </property>

        <!–  where to store meta data –>
        <property name="metaDataDirectory">
          <value>${deployment.filesystem.default.metadatadir}</value>
        </property>

        <property name="autoFix">
          <value>${deployment.filesystem.autofix}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="fileSystemReceiverService">
          <ref bean="fileSystemReceiverService" />
        </property>

        <!–  how to authenticate for this particular target –>
        <property name="authenticator">
          <bean
            class="org.alfresco.repo.deploy.DeploymentReceiverAuthenticatorAuthenticationService"
            init-method="init">
            <property name="authenticationService">
              <ref bean="AuthenticationService" />
            </property>
          </bean>
        </property>

        <!– Target Event Handlers –>
        <property name="postCommit">
          <list>
            <bean class="fi.vn.kp.alfresco.deployment.PostDeploymentRunnable">
              <property name="command">
                <value>${vnkp.post-deployment.command}</value>
              </property>
              <property name="directory">
                <value>${vnkp.post-deployment.directory}</value>
              </property>
            </bean>
          </list>
        </property>
      </bean>
    </property>
  </bean>

The web-project has been configured to use the above-mentioned Live Server for deployments. And manually deploying works OK.

However, when you select some file and submit it to staging sandbox through a workflow (and select the auto-deploy), nothing happens. Why is that? How do you enable the auto-deployment?

I debugged class AVMDeloyHandler and noticed that it gets executed and autoDeploy=true, but findDeployToServers-method returns an empty set, so nothing gets deployed.

How do I add a live server? Apparently the following is not enough (which I have done):
* Edit Web Project
* Add Deployment Receiver
** Transport Name: default
** Host: localhost
** Port: 50500
** URL: –
** Type: Live Server
** Username: admin
** Source Path: /ROOT
** Excludes: –
** Target Name: vnkpFilesystem (target is org.alfresco.deployment.impl.fsr.FileSystemDeploymentTarget)
** Include In Auto Deploy: Yes

As I said in my previous post, the manual deploying works with this configuration. Why doesn't auto-deploy?
